RIDGEJYAY NOTES.

The decision in tho Virginia case
gave general satisfaction to the people
in this community. They look upon
it as correct solution Of the consti-
tuition question involved. THE News
AND HERALD having said that the
horse was sixteen feet high holds to
its opinion. Consistency is q jewel,
and we admire THE News AND
HERALD for it, but the reasoning by
which it attempts to show that it was
right and the court wrong is merely a
fanciful play upon words. The point
it makes is that although State can
not be sued, yet tho officials of a
State may be cnjoined from enforcing
the laws Of the State. This is simply
distinction without difference, and
as such was clearly set forth by thd
court. Obviously tho doctrine as now
established is right. If a State cannot
be sued straigtout it ought not to be
liable Indirectly. This is a common
sense view Of the case, and as 1t is
unqucstionably right, we see no reason
for trembling about tho future repub-
lie, and In fact do not, for the old
American eagle can still flap and the
country Is In no danger whatever
The ladies of Longtown church gave
hot supper at tho residence Of Mr..
David Tidwell on Wednesday, Novcm-
Der 30th, Quite number from this
place attended and were highly
pleased with what they saw, with tho
treatment they got from tho Lsongtown
people and with the supper. The
object of the supper was to raise
money for erecting Cor helping to
erect) q parsonage 1t was quite O
success, as tho net proceeds reached
we'll on to $75.
The stores are all filled with Christ
mas goods, and we arc all expecting a
fine, largo time. 1t is eminently
this occasion, for it is just at tho time
when balances arc struck, and it is
evident from the amount of goods
sold, and cotton, etc., brought in, that
nearly everybody will have something
to their credit. 81,
1t is rumored that party Of the
young citizens of the place, headed by
Mod, propose to got up a ball before
the holidays are ovcrs something that
will "snow under" the military OF
Winnsboro.
Communion services were held at
Aimwell last Sunday. The pastor
was assisted by the Rcv. s. r.. Hope,
of Lowrysville, Chester county. II
was a real interesting meeting, and II
is hoped that much good has been
done.

Tie DISPUTED LINE. disputed
line between North and South Caro-
lima on tho boundary Of York, Mock
lenburg and Union counties is again
the subject of message from the
Governor. We join with the News
and Courier in saying:
1t is to be hoped, for the sake of the
good people who live in the disputed
territory, that tho new boundary line
between North and South Carolina
shall DO run, when it is run, as far
north as possible. There is no place
on earth like South Carolina. and there
is no climate anywhere in the United
States that is so pleasant all the year
round as that which we enjoy. BY
all means, therefore, let the State lines
be pushed out as far as practicable in
every direction, in order that as many
of our neighbors as are within reach
may hereafter share our unspeakable ad-
vantages. What a blessed thing it
would be for the whole country, by the
way, if this blessed Palmetto State
extended TO the st. Lawrence and the
Mississippi rivers, at least. It did ex-
tend to the Father Of Waters, once
upon time.

What San Francisco Does.

There is a crowd of wide mouthed" men
III this community, that are always pratt
ing of how much San Francisco does
towards the support of the State and con-
stantly arraying one part of the State
against the other TO the detriment of that
known as the interior. These brainless
idiots do not stop to consider for moment
that the preponderance of San Francisco s
wealth and business possessions have been
contributed by this very interior, or the
rural districts, IN which they do not see
anything that is worthy of more than a
sheer. This feeling predominates only
among the shoddyites of the place and is
not participated in by its solid, substantial
business men who recognize the interior
as being the backbone of their prosperity.
These dolts and ignoramuses may not be
aware, that every part and parcel of the
State Is growing more and more valuable
every day population and business in
creasing, and the sterling prosperity vouch-
saied all classes of a most substantial and
enduring character. 1t must not be lost
sight of that there are two growing en-
pires in California outside of San Fran
cisco, but upon which San Francisco is de
pendent for life, health, and sustenance.
The one is the great empire of the north.
of which Sacramento is the center; and the
other that grand empire of the south. of
which Los Angeles is the center. Our
judgment is that the time was never so ripe
for interior cultivation by the business men
OF San Francisco than to-day because il
they should so elect Los Angeles on one
side, and Sacramento on the other, could
squeeze it into a very ungainly and IN
pleasant shape; for railroad communica-
ton has placed both points upon a plane
OF entire independence OF San Francisco.
We might join the time-serying crowd and
indulge in gush, but we are too firm a
friend and advocate of the interests of San
Francisco not to give timely warning as
we do in this. Other portions of California
pay taxes as well as San Francisco and
largely so. Why in Los Angeles, for the
month of May just passed, the transactions
in real estate represented nearly So ,000, 900
IN value. Again, we say, let San Fran
cisco cultivate the interior, not repel it do
not throw discredit upon it or treat it with
contempt. There is a limit to forbearance.
The interior was never in better condi-
ton than now to establish that limit.-.Sqlt

The SIZE OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN's HEAD.
He had intended TO have worn wig as
well as a sword, and TO have carried his
hat under his arm, after the style of the
day. The wig was ordered. but tradition
says tina the hair-dresser made it too small
and that he could not get it upon the mass
i've Uranium of Doctor Franklin. He
worked at it for q long time. and upon
Franklin finally limiting that the wig was
perhaps not large enough, the hair-dresser
angrily dashed it to the floor, saving /:
" Monsieur il il impossible. 1t is not the
wig which is too small; it is your head
which is too large" And, as it was now
too late to procure another one, Franklin
was compelled to go without it. Having
discarded the wig, he concluded also 10 dis
pense with thesword and hat. and appeared
dresSed as have stated. The two other
American ministers wore wigs and swords.
